I have found other threads for this, and tried this formula
=COUNTIFS(DESCENDANTS(), 1)
However, I get error #BOOLEAN EXPECTED
I have parent rows and grandparent that I would like to calculate
Hi @Randy Van Winkle ,
The column you place this formula in needs to be formated as text/number to prevent the error. Looks like it's probably a checkbox.
Move it to another row and use =COUNTIF(Descendants([original name]@row),1) where [original name] is the column name you want counted.
Help?

Hi Mark, Thanks for answering. Unfortunately i have almost a hundred columns so that would be a bit cumbersome. I found another workaround in using +'' after the formula. However that prevents the "number" from being used in a chart on dashboard.
Don't know if it works for you but if you change the column from checkbox to symbol and use a symbol other than Flag or Star the formula will return a number.
Good luck,
I had the same issue with the checkbox returning a Boolean Error. I changed the checkbox to a symbol and the error went away.
Hi @Geoff Baker
I hope you're well and safe!
Another option would be to add +"" at the end of the formula.
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

I am counting uncheked boxes. This formula worked for me: =COUNTIFS(DESCENDANTS([shipment delivered]@row), 0)
